Javascript syntax error - moving pages

[BDA111]

Hello, I try to add a script for movin pages in Acrobat Pro and still get a syntax error. It should take the first page of the second half of the document and put it behind the first page of the first half of the document, the second one from the second half behind the second from the first half etc.

Could someone look at the script and tell me what is wrong with it, please? Thank you.

```javascript

var doc = this;

var numPages = doc.numPages;

// Ověření, že celkový počet stránek je sudý

if (numPages % 2 !== 0) {

    console.println("Dokument musí mít sudý počet stránek.");

} else {

    var halfNumPages = Math.floor(numPages / 2);

    for (var i = 0; i < halfNumPages; i++) {

        var targetPage = (i * 2) + 1;

        doc.movePage(halfNumPages + i, targetPage);

    }

}

```

I've moved your post to the Adobe Acrobat Pro forum and added the topic "JavaScript" for you.

The characters at

  ```javascript

are illegal.

Thank you, but I get a syntax error on the second row as well, the text "var doc = this;" is illegal too according to it.

What error message does you get?

[BDA111]

The same one:

SyntaxError: syntax error
1:Console:Exec
undefined

Is the text "```javascript" necessary anyways?

[Bernd Alheit]

No. Why have you added this?

I did not, AI did 😄 I'm not a programmer, unfortunataly. It looks kinda weird to me so I asked if it's correct and it told me that it's a mistake, that it is used in some markedown coding to mark the beginning and the end of the code.

Remove those lines before executing the code.

Also remove this line:

var numPages = doc.numPages;

It doesn't make any sense and just causes a conflict between a variable and the built-in property with the same name.

PS. I'm not sure the logic of this code is correct, but if you make those changes at least it will run and do something...

AI cannot come anywhere close to "creating" code written by those who take the time and effort to learn it.

Guys, you would be surprised, i deleted the first and the last line and it worked. Needed to do some small edits to move the pages properly and it's done.

Thank you so much for your time and effort! 🙂
